Baby Chase will be 3 weeks old tomorrow. We survived our first week home without daddy but definitely enjoyed having him home for the weekend! My parents and sister are coming into town at the end of the week to spend a little family time together before Thanksgiving.
Baby is doing well…eating like a champ and a pooping machine like his daddy. I’m finally starting to feel a bit better after a few rounds of antibiotics. Breastfeeding is still a challenge but we’re hanging in there. Baby even helped us kick off the week on the right foot by sleeping for 5 hours straight for the first time on Sunday night!
He’s starting to spend a little more time awake during the day and opening his eyes more, which is awesome. He had a weight check last week and is up to 9 pounds, 12 oz. Like I said, he likes to eat He also had an ultrasound last week to check his kidneys since they were retaining fluid while I was pregnant. Everything looked good on that front which was a relief as well.
We’re trying hard to get into a bit of a routine. One day last week I even got dressed! I upgraded from sweatpants to yoga pants and even added a scarf and earrings! It was a big day.
